Abstract
A headlamp for vehicles that has a light source unit. Numerous light sources and/or light guides are controllable individually. A sensor unit for detects headlamp status data and/or vehicle environment data. A control unit for controlling the light sources and/or light guides generates a predefined light distribution for the headlamp. The range of the headlamp can be adjusted on the basis of sensor signals from the sensor unit. The control unit contains a control element for the light sources and/or light guides for projecting a guide marking onto a road surface. The control unit contains a compensator that compensates for deviations in the guide marking on the basis of a sensor signal generated by the sensor unit.
